About Hologram AF "Hologram AF (Auto-Focus)" is an AF fill light system that applies laser holograms to enable you to shoot still images in dark places. The Hologram AF system uses gentler radiation than conventional highbrightness LEDs or lamps, thus satisfying Laser Class 1* specifications and maintaining higher safety for human eyes. No safety problems will be caused by looking directly into the hologram AF emitter at a close range. However, it is not recommended to do so, because you may experience such effects like several minutes of residual image and dazzling, that you encounter after looking into a flashlight. * Hologram AF satisfies Class 1 (time base 30 000 seconds), specified in JIS (Japan), IEC (EU), and FDA (US) industry standards. Complying with these standards identifies the laser product as safe, under the condition that a human can look at the laser light either directly or focused through a lens for 30 000 seconds.
